From the above data it would seem that in the analysis the CaO

determination is probably slightly too high and the MgO value is

correspondingly too low.

DIRECTORY OF AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MINERALCOLLECTIONS

Seuunr- G. GonooN, Academy oJ Natural Sciences of Philadelphia

At the suggestion of Drs. Hugh S. Spence and Walter F. Hunt,

the desirability of a directory of American and Canadian mineral

collections was favorably considered by the Council and the writer

was asked to assemble the necessary data. A statement concerning

the proposed survey and the nature of the directory appeared in the

American Mineralogist, Rocks and Minerals, the Journal of Geol-

ogy, Economic Geology, the Engineering and Mining Journal,Science, and Nature: to the editors of those journals thanks are

here given. As the response to requests for information regarding

mineral collections was disappointingly small, a questionnaire was

mailed to institutions listed by Merrill,l and Rea2 as having mineral

collections, as well as to many others in the more extensive lists

of Wallace3 and Minerva.a The privately printed paper by the late

Frederick A. Canfields on "The Final Disposition of some American

Mineral Collections" was also useful, as was the familiar directory

of Cassino.6 Replies were received from about half of the institu-

tions and private collectors to whom the questionnaire was sent'

The present directory, then, is based on first hand information

from about half of the collections listed; other institutions are in-

cluded in the list since Merrill and Rea mentioned them as having

mineral collections. The listing of private collections, however, is

based almost entirely on first hand information. Under the cir-

cumstances, it is realized that the directory is not complete, par-ticularly with respect to private collections; but certainly the moreimportant and active collections have been included. Visitors tomining districts will usually find small private collections in thehands of miners, in mine offices, assay offices, in hotels and poolrooms. We will be grateful for corrections and information regard-ing omissions.

Tn 1926 the Museum received the famous collection of the lateColonel Washington A. Roebling with an endowment, from his son Ferdinand.The Roebling collection was noteworthy because of the extraordinarynumber ofspecies and varieties included in it, as well as for a number of particularly choicespecimens. It was followed by the bequest, with an endowment, of the collectionof the late Frederick A. Canfield, which included the cabinet of his father, Frede-rick Canfield (who probably inherited the earlier collection of his uncle Mah-lon Dickerson). This collection contained many extraordinary specimens fromFranklin, New Jersey, and Bolivia. Other collections received by the Museumwere those of John T. Abert, William S.
